Tobacco in the White House.

Tobacco in the White House.
Boston Citizen.
!. Mr.. Cleveland is developing love
for cigars which has already caught the
attention of the newspaper paragrapher.
There is something about life in the
White house and in Washington which
seems to stimulate the cacOethes
ftimandi, although Mr.. Hayes was not
Affected by it. But he was proof
against this and other ''wanitieS." The
taste grows cultured, too. in the White
house atmosphere, and Mr.. Cleveland is
said to have discarded the 1.-TWO for a
quarter" variety for much costlier
article. Gen. Grant was able to graf
ify his love for the weed at little or
30 tax upon his $4,000 year. So
many of his friends were desirous of
making him presents, and his fond
ness for cigars was so universally
kept busy delivering him boxes of the
choicest brands. l know of one gift to
him of box of 100 which cost the donor
$3.50, at least, the latter told me. l
thought this was about the highest price
ever paid for such goods, but the gentle
man assured me that he had himself
smoked cigars which had cost him 81 rs
apiece. He had done so accidentally,
however, for it was far from his DISPOSE
tion to be so extravagant. The gift to
Gen. Grant came about in this way. My
informant, merchant of means, was
about to visit the general in camp dur
ing the closing days of the war and
thought box of fine cigars would be
appreciated as delicate courtesy. Ac-
c0rdingly, he called upon cigar dealer
near his residence and requested him to
get the best box of cigars within reach.
1t was time when gold was over 200,
and the custom duties were very heavy.
The package was duly delivered to him
in a day Or two and with it q bill for

FINEST OF THE YEAR.
A Remarkable Game Between
Oshkosh and Milwaukee.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, July 8. For
three hours and half the Milwaukee
and Oshkosh clubs did battle to-day,
Milwaukee finally winning in the sew
enteenth inning. During the last
twelve innings Smith pitched grandly,
and the Oshkosh hitters were able to get
but four hits off him, including one base
on balls in this time. The widest of en-
thusiasm prevailed after the last Osh-
kOSh man was retired and victory was
assured for the home team. KrOck
pitched in fine form for Oshkosh and
was well supported, but the MilwaukeeS
won by punching three hits in the last
inning. Both mines played brilliantly,
and were evidently trying their hardest
to win. The fielding of Hull, Strauss,
Roussey, DOran and Burns were the
features of the game. Curry the new
umpire, made an eXOrable showing, and
was continually hooted by the crowd.
His decisions favored Oshkosh uniform
ally. The score is as follows:

On the grounds was that which wound
up the game In the last half of the
ninth inning Lowe led off with pretty
line hit to center field. Cross went out
on pop up to second. Quest then
took up the willow and hit the second
ball pitched him a terrible whack,
which sent it between center and right
fields. Everybody thought it good for
at least three bases, but Murphy went
for it with a burst of speed which sent
him under it in time. Lowe by this time
had got around TO third and was easily
doubled uD. CIeveland'S play at third
was brilliant, his three splendid assists
in the second inning bringing out storm
of applause. StOckwelI and McCauley
each made pretty catch in the sixth
inning. For the visitors the pretty catch
of line fly from Murphy'S bat in the
eighth inning nipped tWO-baSe hit in
the bud. ReardOn'S pitching was not
bad, but his support at times was not
good, especially III the third and sixth
innings.

Murphy was retired ON foul fly to left
and WilmOt took two bags on his drive

double to left brought him home and
StOckwell went out on fly to first. In
the third inning, after Duryea had
thrown up the sponge on fly to right,
Murphy got present of base, stole
second, went to third on Wilmot'S hit to
right and stole home. McCauley went
out from second to first, Cleveland

ended the inning on an out from third

Crooks had been retired from short to
first, SOwderS took a base on balls
something almost unprecedented for
him-StOle second, and scored on
Murphy'S hit to center field. In the
sixth inning, after Crooks had
gone out on fly to right,
SOwderS and Duryea made singles to
left, were advanced a base on a
passed ball, and Murphy was presented
with base. The bases were full and
one man out. WilmOt struck at the
first ball pitched, tipped it and was
nipped by Brennan. McCauley's hit to
left and an error by the catcher let
in three men, McCauley going to sec

CleYeland'S hit to left. After this ST.
Paul did not get man on bases. Sui

1t is no longer a matter of doubt
which of the American association
teams will come out ahead. st. Louis

test for the other positions, however,
is very spirited. Baltimore, Cincinnati,
Brooklyn, Louisville and Athletic all
want to be second, with the chances
considerably in favor of the first
named. The Nets and Cleveland have
on pretty fight for last place, and one
has about as good chance to secure 1t

s. to Lakeland Abdallah, which would
cause more wide spread public interest,
than advertising all over the country
that he has transferred a $l25,Ooo
check for her. When such a foal as
I suggest shall come, turn her back to
her sire; then in due time (say 8 years
old), show to the public how much
speed inbred Abdallah, Hambletonlan
has. This would benefit the young
breeders Of our country, and IN the
mean time be more creditable to the
name of Robert Bonner. If he should
say that Lakeland Abdallah was too
close in blood, I will suggest the stall
ion Greenfield, by Black Hambleton-
ian, out of Rysdyk Maid. But IN
this case, while both are and dam were
by Rysdyk,s Hambletonian, they had
in their dams affinity blood to Pilot in
dam of Maud S, so that his chances
for speed would be greater than by
Lakeland Abdallah. Let us all live to
some purpose. If any reader be in
clined to ask, why don't Huntington
breed his Clays so close as that? l
will reply that Ihave doneit, and con
tinue to do it all the time with the
best results, 4. e., soundness, improved
intelligence, uniform speed, greater
reliability and positiveness in charac-
ter. My mare Miss Lewis (from dam
of Captain Lewis) produced a flly to
Senaca Patchen, and the FLY is due
this season, to her own sire, Old Sen
eca Patchen. The more pure a blood
is, the more closely it can be bred.
Do we ever see any deformed wild
pigeons, deformed deers or hens in
the wild state? How about the Jer-
sey cattle or 1[olsteins, or Arabian
horses, or Thoroughbreds or Percher-
ons ? Clay blood sustains and i'm
proves upon it's own blood. Abdallah
never did, nor will any mongrel stand
close breeding. It demands constant
crossing in order to sustain life. If
England ever makes a business of
shipping horses to America (which
now seems very probably for stock
purposes, they will not be mongrels or
"wooden nutmegs."

The Koran,s Hours of PRAYER.

The Koran has fixed the hours that
must be consecrated to prayers. These
prayers, namazi, are five in number The
most solemn is the morning prayer; it is
the sabah namazi; it is uttered after the
dawn, just before the rising of the sun.
The second is the midday prayer, Guile
namazi. The third, jkindy namazi, must
be offered just before the setting of the
sun. The evening prayer, aacham ma
maZi, is uttered just before the shadows
conceal the horizon. Finally, the last and
fifth prayer, yatcy namazi, is uttered in
the interval after sundown and just be-
fore dawn.
The hour of prayers is regularly pro-
claimed 20 the faithful by the imams,
called n1ueZziDs, who walk around
the balcony of the minarets, sing
ing in melancholy voice, this
unvarying litany: "God, the most
hight / here proclaim that there is no
God but God. / proclaim that Moham-
med is the prophet of God. Come to the
temple of salvation. Great Godt God
the most high! There is no God but
God!'' Blind men are usually selected for
